Element Breakdown

Rb

Rubidium (Rb)

Atomic number 37 Alkali Metal

Rubidium was discovered in 1861 by Robert Bunsen (yes, the Bunsen burner guy) and Gustav Kirchhoff using a brand-new technique called spectroscopy — they identified it by the beautiful deep red spectral lines it produced.

I

Iodine (I)

Atomic number 53 Halogen

Iodine was discovered by accident in 1811 when Bernard Courtois, a French saltpeter manufacturer, added too much sulfuric acid to seaweed ash and saw beautiful violet fumes rising up.

C

Carbon (C)

Atomic number 6 Nonmetal

Carbon is the element of life itself.

H

Hydrogen (H)

Atomic number 1 Nonmetal

Hydrogen is the lightest and most abundant element in the entire universe — about 75% of all normal matter is hydrogen! It was first recognized as a distinct element in 1766 by Henry Cavendish, who called it 'inflammable air' because it catches fire so easily.

Ar

Argon (Ar)

Atomic number 18 Noble Gas

Argon is the lazy element — its name comes from the Greek word 'argos,' meaning idle or lazy, because it barely reacts with anything.

Dy

Dysprosium (Dy)

Atomic number 66 Lanthanide

Dysprosium gets its name from the Greek word 'dysprositos,' meaning 'hard to get at,' because it was extremely difficult to isolate from other rare earth elements.
